Hi Lisi! The easy way: Add this line to /etc/sudoers: %users ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/poweroff You might want to change change "%users" to the name of the user. Otherwise anybody in the "users"-group is allowed to do power off. Now crate a Shortcut on the Desktop that executes "sudo /sbin/poweroff" Test ... but be aware, that the session is not saved!
